yes, I can vouch that she is indeed a girly girl.

I think the thing right now is vintage or custom designs, or colored diamonds for the true fashionistas.
/nod If I could find a ring that reminiscent of Venice, I'd take that in a heart beat. For colored diamonds, better make sure that it's a true diamond and not some trying to pawn off a peridot, topaz or other on ya.

Yep. I don't really like the kid that much and spending a day at the zoo with him would be beyond irritating. I'd much rather get him a pair of those SpiderManâ„¢ web slingers and run around the house shooting the cat with him. Much more fun.

I actually just got a part-time job at a jewelry store to supplement the days that I'm not interpreting, and they have some beautiful things.
Like this pretty antique setting that I think is different but classy, this yellow diamond that is in a popular cut and this Sienna-Miller type choice for a girl that is offbeat and unique.
Or if you're ridiculously well-off, you can buy her a fantastically rare and expensive cushion cut.

Eeek, those are all way too ornate for my Lady (I think !?!?)
Well then, sounds like a solitaire may be the way to go, and you can find those anywhere. Or you could do a three-stone ring, which are also popular now (The DeBeers folks marketed it so that the three stones mean "Today, tommorrow and always").
Sorry about the elaborateness in the previous designs. Like I said before, I'm not a classic sort of gal.
If you like something a bit more deco but still classic, check out A. Jaffe or Scott Kay.

No lie.
I have a friend that just got married and both her and her husband got their rings off eBay.
You'd be surprised at what kind of price bad memories can bring.

I went out with my fiancee and had her pick out the ring she wanted.
Then I waited to propose, until just the right moment (sunset, pirate ship, mexico, yaddayadda)

Are you ridiculously well off?
Not that I encourage it, but people *do* spend that kind of money on a ring. You'd be surprised. Paris Hilton's ring was $5million, 24 carats. Ludicrous.
Oh, and we ended up getting a pink sapphire ring. Personally, I was happy, since diamonds are just glass with a big pricetag, colored gems actually look nice.
Also it didn't break my rather empty bank

only one million times what she's worth

I have nothing against non-diamond stones. Had one before, but they're hell to resell.
Enlist the help of a friend or realitive who is not a blabber mouth and then find out the cut of diamond and color they prefer, and even the setting but thats easily changed. Its not too hard for a woman to steer another woman in that direction of conversation. Its usually alot cheaper to buy the stone first and have it put in the setting of your choice.
This is expensive purchase and there are unscrupulous jewelers out there who would gladly sell you for 5K what you could get elsewhere for 2K so shop around alot and do lots of research online.
Good luck

I was going with a friend of hers telling me her size/perfrences/etc, but when I subtly cross-checked some data with my fiancee.... her friend was totally wrong. doh!
Do what now?
Wait a minute you are a programer. Hijack a copy of one of those questionaire and rating websites and add a bunch of questions about diamond ring preferences and send a link to her. Tell her you scored so and so and ask her what hers is.
Might as well add a few other questions you always wanted to know the answers to as well.

I totally suprised my Wife. I went and picked out her ring, but I also knew exactly what she liked. We always went to a certain beach near where we used to live. During the day we would lay on the beach, roller blade, and swim. During the nights after being there for the day we would walk the pier and at the end of it we would sit there and hold eachother while looking at the Sky and the lake.
We had been moved away for about 1 year at this time and we were back on vacation. I had this planned out in my head before, but got lucky that it all fell into place. It was about 10pm and we were looking for something to do. I suggested to her that we go out to Grand Haven and walk the pier because it had been so long since we ahd last done that. She said ok.
We get out there and it is deserted and she is worried that we will get arrested if we walk the pier that late at night. It was about 11pm at this time. I managed to talk her into it, so we walked to the end of the pier. That is where I proposed to her. Everything turned out great, she loved the ring anded how I went about the proposal. We just got married last month and one of our wedding presents from her dad was a replical model of the Grand Haven pier.

Damn if that isn't romantic. Good job!
That's really sweet! I kinda wish I'd had a "proposal" as such, with all the romance that entails, but oh well. We just decided to get married, neither of us really so much asked the other, haha.

It is pretty hard to find out even what type of ring a girl likes without heavily hinting that a proposal is incoming. I do have pretty good taste for a straight guy (you have seen my Monkey thong, for example). Maybe I will just trust my ability to be discerning.
If you're wearing the monkey thong I seriously don't think the style of the ring fu[i][/i]cking matters.
You can always propose with a family heirloom and tell her the two of you can pick out a ring that's more to her taste, if she prefers.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Jonwin Mom gave him her ring, that she had the diamond from her engagement ring, reset in white gold.
I have thin fine fingers, so we plan to get it resized someday. Until then I'm only allow to wear it on special occassions, since I lost it for a year between the waterbed and the wall.
I love the fact that the ring is from his mother and it's the only link I have to his decease father.
My ex never got me a ring and our wedding bands were from a discount store, since we were poor and trying to plan a wedding in one week, before his job had him move. When my daugther got married she asked me for my wedding ring, for it was for her a reminder of happier times. She also has the dress I was married in, but I got to help her pick out a wedding dress, which Jonwin's mom did the alterations on.
Guess family and passing down traditions and items, mean far more to us then getting a expensive gift.

Elne, resizing a ring down is like, $30. It's a shame that you aren't wearing it. What's the sense of the heirloom if you don't have the memory of your mother wearing it when she chopped onions, felt your forehead, all the everyday things?
